Even in the HBO production, it is noted he is the son of the current Lord of the Night Watch, and that he fled the King's justice due to selling some criminals marked to join the Night Watch. Also, here's a minor spoiler:
Warning: Spoiler!(Click to show)

There's really no need to develop his character much past this point. He'll be gone by the middle of S2.

That doesn't happen until the middle of book 3. Would seem a bit early to stuff it into S2 no?

Given this is TV, how slow the Danny plotline is in the second book, and how the Unsullied will really appeal to viewer's interest, I expect them to speed up the Danny plot line to get the Unsullied in the picture. However, I hope they do not forget to put the lesbian scene in.

Pio, they are pretty adamant book discussion stays out of this thread, even if its tagged with /spoiler

You'll notice I a) stated clearly it was a book spoiler and b) I did not raise the books first, someone else dropped a spoiler relating to the book right into the thread without tags so please go bother him.

If you miss the fact my response to the book spoiler in open chat said it was a spoiler...well, that's all this is wrong with the world.

[/b] Actually I think it's the lack of common courtesy and the need for people to self-righteously defend their own boorish behaviour.

+100 Well shit, man. I'm just about going to give up and abandon this threak the way I had to bail on the True Blood threak. People are dumb a-holes, and it seems book spoilers are here to stay. Real shame folks can't keep their nerd-boners in their pants for the sake of everyone else. But this is the internet, where reason and common courtesy go to die. Fucking ridiculous, but oh well.

Probably for the best. You're a more enjoyable poster in most other threads.

Your first spoiler wasn't tagged "book spoiler," but please keep all book spoilers out of the thread anyway. I don't want to know who lives and dies until it happens.

Fair enough and sorry I forgot to label the first one as such. Again, at least I put my spoilers in spoiler vs. dropping it into open chat...and that guy is catching no shit. /shrug.

What delicious irony this is coming from you, Mr. The-Entire-Board-Is-My-DT.
